Our Pre-Team program is designed for beginners ages 5–7 and 8–12 who are just starting rhythmic gymnastics. The overall program structure is similar for both age groups, with training content and exercises adapted to each age and developmental level.

Pre-Team provides a strong foundation in rhythmic gymnastics and prepares gymnasts for future progression. As they develop their skills, gymnasts may have the opportunity to advance to Level 3 or the competitive XCEL program, based on their progress, readiness, and coach assessment.

Children in Pre-Team train once or twice per week. Practices focus on foundational gymnastics skills: stretching, flexibility, conditioning, coordination, and an introduction to rhythmic apparatus (ball, rope, ribbon).

Pre-Team members also take part in club showcase performances, which allow them to experience performing without the pressure of formal competition.

Children will develop flexibility, coordination, balance, posture, and body control through age-appropriate stretching, conditioning, and gymnastics fundamentals. They will learn essential skills such as bridges, forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, handstands with support, body waves, balances, turns, jumps, and introductory leap technique.

They will also begin learning rhythmic gymnastics apparatus handling, including jump rope basics, ball bounces, swings, and simple throws.

As they progress, children build strength, confidence, discipline, and body awareness while developing the foundation needed for higher-level rhythmic gymnastics programs and future competitions.
